SCA61T Series
Data Sheet
THE SCA61T INCLINOMETER SERIES
The SCA61T Series is a 3D-MEMS-based single axis inclinometer family that provides instrumentation grade
performance for leveling applications. Low temperature dependency, high resolution and low noise together with
robust sensing element design make the SCA61T ideal choice for leveling instruments. The VTI inclinometers are
insensitive to vibration, due to their over damped sensing elements and can withstand mechanical shocks of
20000 g.
